Which way would their hearts wave, and the air full of love take them? (Source: BLUPDATE2022 X) Edit Translation

Reviews
This review may contain spoilers
zero boundaries and a lot of trauma
Overall: at times I liked the faster pacing, but there was too much pain/trauma/ignoring boundaries. This was an adaptation of MAME's book which I haven't read (but believe she writes bodice ripper type books with the fictional mouth says no but body says yes). There was already a Thai adaptation. I tried to review the Japanese version based on its own merits. 8 episodes about 15 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4928/love-in-the-air-2024-e01Content Warnings: rape, past gang rape, sexual assault, intimate partner abuse, trauma, non/dub con kissing/touching, manipulation, harassment, manhandling, kidnapping, violence, blackmail
What I Liked
- fast pacing (though the first couple could have perhaps used more development/screen time, and less with the past stuff for the second couple)
- hair drying was cute
- the dream kiss
- NSFW scene in episode 4 was fairly well done (though more enthusiastic kissing from 1 person would have been nice)
- Kai was a supportive friend
- non cliche female character
Room For Improvement
- not really sold on the chemistry with either pair, Kai and Fuma actors should have been switched and Fuma's hideous suits made him look younger
- starting in the present and then going to an extended flashback
- the "plan"/nonsense approach
- the spanking was cringey
- odd progression with the flashback in episode 5 and then the devotion in the present, felt very "because the writer said so"
- (neutral) the hyper/over acting type character

This adaptation depressed me
Japan is always unique and exception in making Boys Love stories but what the hell is this ? Sorry but I think this drama is made just to make money instead of giving viewers excitement , happiness . Thai adaptation was good and there were so many good actors , plots , funny scenes but here is everything missing . As this is adopted from a good story so they should give justice like the Thai one did .Every episode is too short to describe the story .
Acting is bad ( I did not like )
In every episodes , there are lots of NC which are not enjoyable .
The characters are too childish to play Sky and Rain .
There are lots of cringy moments .
At the end of the day this is the worst adaptation . It could not match Japanese high standard in BL dramas .
Thank you .
